[C4D] Bug Reporting / scene crashes at render start [latest v6 20dec]

« on: 2022-01-04, 13:27:24 »

Hi

i have a scene that crashes all time at render start on all pcs beside the one where  i made it.

all are on r25113 with latest corona v8 (20dec)
no missing textures

can i send you the scene and the bug report to look at?
i checked all in detail and cant find why it crashes, (it renders fine in r23 v6 on all machines i tested)

[C4D] Daily Builds / cant install latest v8 on a rendernode(v6/7 installer works on same pc)

« on: 2021-12-22, 22:25:36 »

Hi
i have a weird issue,

one of my win10 PC (TR 3970x) refuses to run the v8 beta installer from last days.

i DID de-install all microsoft c++ redistributables, and did install the 2015 again, with restarts in between each step.
still v8 refuses, i tested older corona installers like 6 or 7 they work,

any idea?
thanks for help!

[C4D] Feature Requests / vray 5 sp2 like decals feature

« on: 2021-11-11, 11:22:45 »

in latest vray sp2max there is an excellent new feature via the decal object.

it works via more than one object,and has a very nice workflow.
i hope this feature will come to corona(c4d) too!

( i know c4d mat stacking allows decals, but in a much less convinient workflow)

thx!

[C4D] General Discussion / save .cxr file from save output ? (like from renderfarm)

« on: 2021-10-17, 17:13:04 »

Hi All,

is there a way to set corona to save a .cxr file at render end, automatically in the c4d version (as inmax)
the c4d output settings do not have the cxr file as choice,
the vfbis a manual save which deoesnt work if i send a job to a renderfarm.

any idea howto force a cxr output so i also get it from a renderfarm like rebus?

i know an exr is almost similar, but i hope tohave an option toget a cxr

thx!

[C4D] General Discussion / whats best recommendation for renderfarm for stills atm? ( best 6 sp2 or 7 sp1)

« on: 2021-09-24, 16:43:35 »

Dear All,

we have an internal farm so normally inot use renderfarms,but due to many renders i might need an external farm.

i used rebus in past, had some issues (wrong render results) , do you have recommendations other than rebus, in special for fast still renderings?
and maybe also better in price etc?

or has someone expereince setting up an EC2 instance to render on it (c4d+cor)

thanks!

[C4D] General Discussion / Export to Vantage planned?(in future)

« on: 2021-09-18, 13:28:41 »

Hi,

i wanted to ask if there is a theoretical chance that Corona will get an export to Chaos Vantage sometime in future?


it seems the material system in v7 and also rest of corona is techically,and settings wise very close in many parts to V-ray 5, and probably could be translated into a .vrscene (compatible) file, which vantage uses and can read.

is this plausible or am i wrong?
are others have the same wish?
even if the look is different for us at least it wouldbe great to have this option for realtime rendering in future.
(of course c4d shaders needed to be baked or translated i assume, bitmap textures shoudl be easy to stranlate to vrscene)

cheers

[C4D] Bug Reporting / IR render parsing alltime with cam move (if a mograph cloneris used)

« on: 2021-08-12, 22:33:18 »

hi

i have a scene with a mograph cloner (which  is using a shader effectorand random effector) as grass.

when i start IR, with every cam move IR starts to re parse the scene from zero in v7,which makes it not interactive at all. this was ok inn v6.

i tried also the multiinstances,but it is same(render or multiinstances)

is this a known v7 issue yet?
any ideas?

thanks
Stefan

[C4D] Bug Reporting / v7-RC5 --> with motionblur + cloners yet some issues (but MUCH better as v6)

« on: 2021-07-29, 23:43:05 »

Hi

when i render mb (moving objects) and the scene has cloners(render instances),
i still get some clonedobjects movedto wrong places.

overall the scene doest "explode"anymore as in v6, but i think some little rest of the problem is still there.

i will try to strip down my exampel scene ( o no NFR related thinsg from client are in) and send it then to you via the uploader.

it would be great to finally be able to use motionblur in coronawith scenes that have render/multi instances! :)

thanks!

[C4D] Bug Reporting / frontal mapping not updating in cam movement in IR v6/7

« on: 2021-07-21, 19:46:39 »

Hi

this is one IR bug i want to report which was also in v6 ,but is still in v7:

if i have a frontal mapping on an object, like a skybitmap image BG on a big sphere, the frontal mapping doesnt update its"frontal"position when i move the camera.
it "sticks" to the old location like a sticker on the object.

obviously it would be needed to stay frontal projected, hope this is fixable for final v7 ?

thanks!

[C4D] Feature Requests / MIX value/slider in glossy tex slot

« on: 2021-05-19, 15:58:20 »

PLEASE dear Corona team,

add a MIX slider value to the texture for the reflection glossyness,atm it is a pian to always to have to use a coronamix shader for this, and the actual glossy texture othen as subtexture.

in almost 99% of the cases a glossy texture is needed to be mixed in slightly only, like  20-30%, so a mix slider, as it is in diffuse channelor reflection color, would greatly help here for coronas workflow!

thanks:)

how can i solve this?
newest nvidia drivers are installed,
i also have vray5 on the system,can that be the cause?

[C4D] Feature Requests / vfb2 for corona

« on: 2021-05-13, 19:17:23 »

Hi

ihope for a new enhenced vfb maybe in a way similar to the new vfb2 frame buffer in V-Ray 5?

like the layers and folders with masking etc are very powerfull, i would hope Corona can also add some stuff in that direction.

we like to have the images direct out of the frame buffer with ideally no or only very little post production, such vfb tools could help a lot in daily corona work:)

i love corona very much, but this features of the vray 5 vfb2 are kickass, as both are owned by the same company, maybe soem can "flow over" to corona c4d too ?:)

thanks
Stefan

« on: 2021-03-25, 22:04:07 »

Dear All,

may i show you here mypost about our new parallay virtual room shader?

https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=32794.0

maybe somemight be interested, (several did ask on forums and facebooklastdays,so here it  is native working in C4D corona!)

i post here later inthis thread also some other nice helper tools we have for follow Corona users:)

cheers
